Welcome to the Psychology Job Wiki. This site is intended to provide timely information to applicants about the status of academic job searches occurring in 2013-2014 in all areas of psychology. The wikis for previous years are still available if you are interested in viewing them: 2012-2013, 2011-2012, 2010-2011, 2009-2010, 2008-2009, and 2007-2008. Job ads can be found in several places; here is a list of Job Ad Websites. As information about a search becomes available, you are encouraged to post it anonymously below. If this is your first time visiting the wiki, please read through the How to Use this Wiki section to become familiar with how the wiki works. There is also a Discussion Forum where you can read and post about the job market. Good luck to all job-seekers!

Job ads that are posted on various websites (e.g., APA and APS) often are removed after two or three months, sometimes even before the application deadlines! To preserve the job ads, you are encouraged to post copies of them in the forum and then provide links from the main wiki. This can be done by following these steps:

If a job can be classified in more than one field (e.g., clinical and developmental), then post the job in the most closely related field and add cross-references in the other related fields. For example, you could post a clinical/developmental job under Clinical and then add a cross-reference under Developmental. This requires two steps.

In the Clinical section (where the job is posted), add an anchor before the school name. In the following code example, the anchor is called my-clinical-dev-job. Notice there is a single space between the pound sign and the anchor name.

[[# my-clinical-dev-job]] **Random State University**

In the Developmental section (where the job is cross-referenced), add a link to the anchor you just created. Notice there is no space between the pound sign and the anchor name in the following code example:

**Random State University** ([#my-clinical-dev-job see posting under Clinical])

After posting, it is a good idea to check whether your cross-reference works and to fix it if necessary.

How to Update an Existing Job

This is the most frequent wiki activity. If a job is already listed and you have new information about its status, then make your update by following these steps:

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click the "edit" button.

Find the section of the page code associated with the job and locate the school name.

Add your update at the end of whatever information has already been posted.

Write a short description of your update in the box provided (e.g., "Random State University clinical rejection").

Click the "save" button to post your update.
